|

REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES controls the behavior of realloc (p, 0)
|
||||
when p is nonnull. If nonzero, realloc (p, 0) should free p and
|
||||
return NULL. Otherwise, realloc (p, 0) should do the equivalent
|
||||
of freeing p and returning what malloc (0) would return.
|
||||
The REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES macro controls the behavior of realloc (p, 0)
|
||||
when p is nonnull. If the macro is nonzero, the realloc call returns NULL;
|
||||
otherwise, the call returns what malloc (0) would. In either case,
|
||||
p is freed. Glibc uses a nonzero REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES, which
|
||||
implements common historical practice.
|
||||
|
||||
ISO C17 says the behavior is implementation-defined here; glibc
|
||||
follows historical practice and defines it to be nonzero.
|
||||
ISO C17 says the realloc call has implementation-defined behavior,
|
||||
and it might not even free p.
